MIFF2014: 112 Weddings
The concept for 112 Weddings is so good that I’m surprised that this hasn’t been done many times before by others out there. After spending two decades sidelining as a wedding videographer to fund his career as a filmmaker, Doug Block has revisited some of the couples he has filmed in the past to see what has become of them since their wedding day.

A Chat with Doug Block on Relationships, Marriage, and 112 Weddings. From #HotDocs14
During Hot Docs last month, I had the pleasure of sitting down with 112 Weddingsfilmmaker Doug Block. It was clear I was being fit into his already packed schedule, as an exhausted Block sat down across from me at a scavenged table in the Rogers Industry Center. Everyone was all abuzz, with interviews and robust conversation sprouting up in every which direction. Cameras were rolling while…
